Mang saleh motor stopped in front of the gate at exactly 9. Ara thanked him and paid for the man's services.
Saleh refuses but Ara forces.
The guard opened the gate
"Good night young lady" they said politely.
"Good night." answered Ara smiling
The other guards greeted as Ara passed them.
Mr. Sam was seen pacing back and forth in front of the main entrance.
He was happy when he saw Ara coming, but there was a sense of worry also visible from his face.
"Sir Sam is outside? what are you doing here?" ask Ara
"I'm waiting for the lady to come home, let's go in, young lady."
"Why are you waiting for me?"
Sam did not answer. Sam immediately opened the door for Ara. A look of worry on his face was not calm.
Ara immediately walked in, as soon as her body had gone inside, a rather loud sound stopped her steps.
"Where have you been at this hour just coming home ?" Maya approached him with a frightening look.
Ara immediately greeted her mother-in-law
But the one who was greeted back snapped at him.
"I asked where you were from, answer me." he asked back in a high voice.
Ara flinched, her heart trembling. She squeezed the tip of her t-shirt hard.
"A anu ma, I'm from....."
"At the time Raka was working outside the area, you seemed to be wandering unclear and just returned at this hour ?"
"I didn't wander, I went to college and..."
"And just got home at this hour? did you go to college until this hour?" Maya cut her words quickly.
"Are you meeting your ex-boyfriend out there? Huh .." Maya looked at him sharply.
"Ma..," Ara flinched. Clear crystal bathes his eyelids.
"Is this how you do when you're away from Raka ?"
"Are you cheating on your ex?"
Ara covered her mouth with her one hand to hold back her cries from being heard. While his one hand squeezed the end of the shirt.
"Madam, why are you accusing such a young lady ?" Sam interrupts, unable to bear to see his young lady accused of cheating.
"Be quiet Sam, don't interfere, you're just a butler here. Quickly go back to the back." said Maya, pointing at Sam "Go from here.." joltting loudly.
Sam couldn't do anything about it, he immediately left the place. He was not strong to see his young lady treated like that.
Maya looked back at Ara.
"You think I don't know what you're doing out there, walking alone with a guy, sitting next to each other without distance ! You are a lowly woman."
Ara grew more and more crying, her tears more and more flooded into her two cheeks, her body trembling. His body sagged downward as his legs trembled weakly.
"I-I tu a carpenter ma..," he answered in between his tears.
"Curtain, you think I believe? you think I'm stupid, huh? you think you can fool me? where there is a motorcycle taxi driver who all day drive you, from day to night this continues with you, jokingly laughing very close to you." joked Maya as she pointed and pressed on Ara's forehead strongly.
"A a I can clear ma..," said Ara staring at maya with a face that was clear and more and more tears flowed.
"Be quiet, don't you dare talk again. I don't want to hear anything from your dirty mouth ! I'm warning you, if you hurt my son and make him cry, I'll make your life suffer forever" Maya said, looking into Ara's eyes with a frightening look.
"Hurry upstairs before the twins wake up and see you like this. Low and cheap women. Cih...," Maya said back, then she immediately left after saying the word.
Ara closed her eyes, gulping her bitter saliva at the words. Her tears kept falling, her breathing went up and down irregularly holding tightness in the chest hearing those words, it was painful.
Why would you accuse me of cheating, did you see me walking with a godly mang? an old man who was the same age as the late father, thought of me as his own son. Why don't you believe me and not give me a chance to talk?
"Young lady." call Sam slowly.
Ara did not know the arrival of the butler, who had arrived nearby, she raised her face to look at who was calling her.
I know who is nearby, though,
Ara immediately hugged Sam's leg and cried as it happened with a stifled voice. He spilled all his sadness at Sam's feet. Ara had also considered Sam like her own father. Because this old man cares about and loves him in this house.
no one can be invited to share his willingness at this time, except Mr. Sam.
Sam bowed his body, one hand holding the left shoulder of his young lady, and the other one used to wipe the head of his young lady.
"Patience of non. patience."
"Miss must be strong, Come stand up, I'll take Miss upstairs." Sam lifted Ara's shoulder firmly.
Ara swept away her tears, gathering the remnants of her strength to be able to walk and rise to the top. Sam followed from behind.
